Cells manage a wide range of functions in their tiny package — growing, moving, housekeeping, and so on — and most of those functions require energy. But how do cells get this energy in the first ...

Nucleotide synthesis—the production of the basic components of DNA and RNA—is essential for cell growth and division. In most ...

Study reveals how an RNA enzyme drives the postnatal switch from glucose to fatty acids in heart cells, highlighting ketogenesis as essential for metabolism. Study: The tRNA methyltransferase Mettl1 ...

“This is an early but exciting step toward recharging aging tissues using their own biological machinery,” Gaharwar says in ...

Weill Cornell Medicine researchers have discovered a way ovarian tumors cripple immune cells: by tampering with their ability to process energy. This insight could pave the way for new immunotherapies ...

Research into immunotherapy against cancer typically focuses on better recognition of cancer cells by the body's own immune system. Researchers at Amsterdam UMC and Moffitt Cancer Center have taken a ...

Presence of mercury was linked to inefficient fuel use during energy production in wild birds’ cells, while certain per- and ...

Biologists have long treated the cell as a chemical factory, but a new wave of research is forcing a rethink of that familiar picture. Instead of just tiny bags of reacting molecules, our cells appear ...
